This thread hits a huge sore spot with me. I'm unemployed. I've burned up all my savings. I've sold everything I could reasonably sell. Now I"m looking at crap that will hurt to sell.
My knees and back are wrecked from years of being a productive small business owner, I also have chronic health problems and cannot afford a Dr. visit. We live in the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the history of this planet. And we let sick people die every day because they are broke and don't meet some arbitrary threshold to get help.
I'm a libertarian at heart and I do support some sort of universal health care. The drug companies, as one example, are stuffing their peckers up our collective behinds while they sell the same drugs to the rest of the world at much lower prices. Something needs to change. And NOW.
It's too bad the sheeple in this country just go along watching 'reality' TV and doing what the talking heads colored red and blue tell them to do.
I better step off this soap box before I get dizzy and fall down. Sorry for the rant peeps.

Maybe he should try asking for help next time instead of demanding it.
This is so wrong! Socialism is not the answer.
If you're wealthy, insured, or healthy that's correct.
If you're broke, uninsured, and SICK, it will do until something better comes along.
It's hard to find a worser option than death.
Why not get medicaid?
Well I'll take death over socialism. Our state already offers highly subsidized insurance to average citizens in need but many are not responsible enough to sign up for it. I offer this plan to any of my employees after working only six months and average 24 hrs a week. They can purchase insurance for less than 15% of what it cost me and they get better coverage at half the price. I'm a small business owner and offering insurance to my employees comes straight off my bottom line. It's staggering to me the number that refuse it and spend twice what their premiums would cost in cigarette purchases each month. They will eventually become a drain on the system by seeking coverage for COPD, etc. from smoking and will have no insurance to pay for it. There are certainly people in need who justifiably need help but IMO many of our large unsolvable social issues have more to do with a lack of individual responsibility than a lack of government handouts.
You would rather die than live in Sweden?
You're welcome to move there if you don't like it here.
As Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty or give me death."
what experience do you have with these clinics??
